To import an existing manuscript draft, provide a single MD or DOCX file and the system extracts era, premise, characters, world, and outline to prefill a new project wizard. DOCX files are converted to markdown automatically using pandoc.
Yes, you can rewrite chapters to match a specific author voice through an approval-gated process. Each chapter is rewritten one at a time, requiring your accept, revise, or skip decision to prevent compounding voice drift.
Yes, manuscript adoption supports automatic chapter splitting. When you import a single-file markdown or DOCX draft, the system splits the content into individual chapter files and rewrites outputs into a standardized project structure.
To convert DOCX manuscripts for story rewriting, you need pandoc installed for DOCX to markdown conversion. The system preserves the original file for reference while producing markdown output for chapter splitting and voice extraction.
Voice analysis during draft adoption extracts voice mechanics evidence as raw observations from your manuscript. These observations, along with craft rules from an author-authored voice file, guide the approval-gated per-chapter rewrites.
A key limitation is that adoption applies only to single-file MD or DOCX inputs, not multiple separate files. Additionally, the rewrite process requires manual approval for each chapter to prevent voice drift, which may be time-consuming for long manuscripts.
